I hadn't noticed before, but the guardian is not attempting to be a neutral source. See the section "How the Guardian will stand up to four more years of Donald Trump".

I actually appreciate that and wish more outlets would be honest about their biases, and I'm supporting them. I do think it's important for people to know going into the article however.

There's actually a solution around this: name and shame! Just like bad companies get called out on GlassDoor, companies should create a reputation system for prospective employees (e.g. a professional credit score). This already exists for potential tenants, so I don't really understand why it doesn't exist for potential employees given they occur at about the same frequency and have a similar amount of money trading hands.
Your example doesn't interact with the chicken littling in this thread.

Nothing to do with an LLM nor with someone not knowing the exact LD50 of caffeine. Just "this article contains someone dying of caffeine overdose, and we're talking about caffeine overdose here, therefore LLM is dangerous."
How this isn’t a bigger deal? Especially the story of Svetlana Dali, who successfully flew to France unticketed, but was later caught and then somehow only placed under house arrest, and practically escaped again??
Google search had gotten so bad the AI overview is passable in comparison. They don't deserve credit for that! Search was better at getting useful information fifteen years ago than it does now. (And yes, the internet is way more full of garbage now--but they did that, they are responsible for that too!)

... unless you want anything like a perspective or an opinion on something, instead of a factual answer to a question, in which case it's totally useless.
An accident with it in powdered form is possible - people who use them are often used to pre-workout supplements tasting awful, and so might be prepared to down it as fast as possible - but it's a big enough volume of powder that it really is a freak accident.

And if on purpose, using caffeine would just be staggeringly awful...

The point that there’s effort involved in verification is an important one and definitely part of any thorough inventory of liabilities and advantages of LLMs.

I am less convinced this means it’s always a wash (or worse). Sometimes it’s good to have something to start with. “You can’t edit a blank page” is a truism among fiction and non-fiction writers of all stripes for a reason. Of course, the quality of what you start with matters, and it matters more the less of an evaluatory mindset you come to your tools with. I know at least some earlier adopters have that mindset, but perhaps I’m too optimistic about how it generalizes.
Setting aside the rest of the article, there is one thing I've never really understood the motivation for, and I think this article really highlights it well.

> "Well congratulations this works! We can represent numbers using singleton sets (sets with one element). However, it would be nice if our sets had some more structure. Specifically we would like the set corresponding to the number n to have n elements."

Why? What's the motivation here?

It seems to me like `next(x) = {x}` is simpler than `next(x) = x ∪ {x}`, and I'm not totally clear on what the extra complexity buys us.

I am of course familiar with the structure `next(x) = x ∪ {x}`, having seen it in textbooks and in a set theory / mathematical foundations class, but I feel like I've never really understood what insight this structure captured. It seems like it's always presented matter-of-factly.

Anyone?
Again, those are self reported surveys with biased surveyors (who want to push the narrative you believe in) with very weird results. They are basically trying to convince us that the unhoused population is more local than the housed population, sometimes by an order of magnitude, and it really isn’t statistically possible. Something like 75% of the general population are transplants but only 25% of the unhoused population are?
Right, you might get a different PPA...

I think realistically you wouldn't port the exact same design between manufacturers. That would be a waste of money unless one manufacturer is really rinsing you.

More likely you'd switch manufacturers when you planned to switch process nodes anyway, in which case the increase in workload probably wouldn't be too bad.
(Shrug) The only important thing is the time derivative. AI models are getting better over time, thanks to things like chain-of-thought reasoning, while humans are not.

IMHO, LLMs will grow immensely in power once someone comes up with the right way to wrap them in a negative feedback loop to keep the hallucination "gain" under control. The result may no longer be recognizable as an LLM, but I'm pretty sure that the GPT concept will be recognized historically as the foundation for what follows.
Maybe if the investors could be held liable for the damage they cause for suddenly shutting something down like this, they would be more likely to give customers more warning before shutting something down.
Could chaining models together via tool calls based on benchmarking that would redirect to the best model allow for smaller models to perform as well as big[er] models for memory constrained/local environments?

What is the rationale for fighting a unified system? A unified system would make it easier to travel by train, which should in theory encourage people to do so more.

Is this a problem of the operators within each country not wanting to be unified with each other because then they'd have to compete more directly? Or is this actually the operators between countries fighting over it for some reason?
The timing, given how his ultra-right-wing buddies have turned on him over his endorsement of H1B visas, is nothing short of hilarious.
Ahh ok. The above link used whatever the latest trunk of the zig compiler to generate code. Looks like the current trunk has regressed just now and produces more instructions.

The link below uses the previous stable version and produces fewer instructions.

If they're searching for LD50, they're already setting themselves up for errors, even with the right information. The LD50 isn't a safe dose, after all, but the mean lethal dose. While it's not great if its wrong, if people search for an LD50 thinking it indicates what they can safely take, it's already going to be hard to protect them against themselves.
> > invading and annexing its former-USSR neighbors

> Is Russia invading Poland and the Baltic states?

What goalpost-moving nonsense is this!? Why narrow it to those other areas while pretending the ongoing invasion of Ukraine doesn't exist, or forgetting the 2008 invasion of Georgia?

Must Russia attempt to attack or puppet every discrete former-USSR holding including Takijistan before you'll finally admit that Putin has revanchist dreams?

> I think even when the answer is "right" in some sense, it should probably come within the context of a bunch of caveats, explanations, etc.

Funnily enough, this is exactly what the LLM does with these questions. So well that people usually try to tweak their prompts so they don't have to wade through additional info, context, hedging, and caveats.
This. I think Amazon is doing the same thing and leaving the door open for Walmart or another player with some logistical muscle to take a bunch of the market from them. Amazon search used to be so simple. Now you sift through so many ads and hidden ad garbage to find the thing you want to buy.
Do you just like collecting links to online "guides" to anything? No preference for any subject matter, just a collection of random "guides"? Interesting, you could make a guide for that!
Huh really? Whenever I’ve taken the train in Germany it’s been pretty punctual, and looking at the board that’s been the case for most trains. But maybe I just got lucky and/or it’s changed over time.

Flakiest trains I’ve experienced anywhere in Europe were in Italy - rolling strikes among train workers are crazy frequent and cause so many delays and cancellations.

No mention of Ferrocene other than a "further reading" bullet point at the end. Are they using it? Does that help with respect to getting a device safety certified?

From https://ferrocene.dev:

> ISO26262 (ASIL D), IEC 61508 (SIL 4) and IEC 62304 available targetting Linux, QNX Neutrino or your choice of RTOS.

The article also mentions one of those standards:

Agreed, but how do you protect yourself against quickbooks/xero/wave going under? Especially with Wave being mostly(?) free

> Anyone can IPO, but few earn money doing it. In the last 10 years, how many owners made any significant money IPO-ing through an SPAC?

If owners are holding stock (instead of say, options), then the only reason to IPO would be if they can sell the stock on the secondary market at a profit. They wouldn't need to IPO to raise capital, the VCs can offer that. So what would be event where such a SPAC IPO wouldn't make money for the founder?
Applicants have long sprayed and prayed even when it involved sending physical letters. Some of the current systems have decreased the effort per company applied-to but, for entry-level employees, it was rarely a carefully-targeted thing for new professionals. It was always a numbers game to some degree although admittedly the scale and tools involved have changed.
As a US person who has, You need to experience euro train travel. The whole experience, from booking using an app to waiting for a train. You’ll find the apps are good, the schedule information accurate and up to date. The apps don’t do stupid things mostly. When you arrive at the station, you’ll find it generally clean and well maintained. Signage is clear and tied into the train information system. Arrival times accurate. You can get a nice sandwich if the shop is open. Intercity Trains are modern and fast. Lots of power ports to plug in your phone. Nice seats. Also great electronic signage in the train. You might even have good wifi. You would not be afraid to use a bathroom in a station or on a train. Best part is that you CAN rely on the trains. Nothing like Amtrak where if it’s on time it’s remarkable.
> More generally, appearances are important because they are clear signs of attention and care.

Attention and care for appearances, not for the job to be done.

One could interpret it that the sharp looks are there as a cover for ... less than stellar competence.

You cannot win with statements like that.
Sadly, this is true. Getting the wrong answers quickly is valued more than having to work for the right answers.

I fear the day that the poor kids who grew up believing everything LLMs hard out will reach a position of power.
I suspect not too many. It's a good bit of fiddling, and the benefits will be much less for WebSockets where the data is necessarily going to flow through userland. NIC TLS will save a bit of CPU, but it's not the big win you get with sendfile where you can avoid loading data from ram into registers, ciphering it, and writing it into (different) ram before DMA to the NIC; if you're high traffic mostly static files, you end up memory bandwidth limited, so saving a read and a write helps alot.
I'm in my early 40s and struggle at times because although my hair is black, my beard is entirely silver, which (I think) adds 10+ years to me.

And while I'm at the IC5/6 level in Product, I still worry about it, and think if I had to find a new job, sorry, fiancée who loves my beard, it has to go, or I think I'm going to have a hard time.
I think your principle is good, but this is going too far to throw out react.

You really just want to split those things out of the UI component and keep minimal code in the component file. But having it be code free is too much for real client side apps.

Modern apps have very interactive UI that needs code. Things like animation management(stop/start/cancel) etc… have subtle interactions. Canvas zoom and pan, canvas render layouts that relate to UI, etc… lots of timing and control code that is app state dependent and transient and belongs in components.

I apply the simple principle and move any app state management and business logic out of the component UI code. But still lean into logical code in UI.
They have 24/7 people on site, 4 shifts that cover the work...but those are generally techs in the US, which have associate degrees or less. In Taiwan they are generally engineers that work the 24/7 shifts.
This is correct. A ton of the hype about LLMs is you can type in a question and get a direct answer without needing to struggle through listicles. Phenomenal compared to the trash a search result provides.

Is is ironic that LLMs are the source of much of the garbage in search results. Good business model to produce unbearable noise and the filter that recovers some signal, I guess.
Agreed.

My friend and I used to paste pre-AI Google search snippets to each other when they were so bad, especially when it quoted a comment on Reddit.
If saying yes to a new apartment build is all it takes and doing so won't have any negative impacts on the community at all, and there is someone who can guarantee that and ensure that. Then sure, seems odd that a state legislature and city council wouldn't sign off.

It seems like maybe the issue is that people are saying "hey, I don't want to live next to or in high density housing, that's not why I live in a small city in Oregon"...well, ask them, hey would you be ok with this being a very tasteful, non-intrusive, home in your neighborhood with a quiet family that fits in well with everyone. They might say yes, which means likely people are not making enough money to live that way, so the real problem is that people don't want to have slums set up in the name of affordable housing.
As someone growing up in Soviet Union, sharing was the norm for us as well until we were in this s**t together and nobody had any chance to earn much from it anyway. This changed quite fast in nineties though.
I was using ChatGPT to compare Docker and Podman and getting reasonable comparisons. I also asked it about c code searching tools and getting a reasonable list with what I think were reasonable comparisons.

It hit me that in a few years, this may not be available as Docker and other tool suppliers start paying for advertising. We’ll see.
I wouldn't be concerned about trusting the results of ChatGPT if it also were providing links to the sources it had cited or used as a reference in its answers.

Unfortunately, it doesn't, and so I can't verify them. Not sure if it's an actual limitation of current LLM or rather they're intentionally filtering out the sources.
> Unless you don't happen to live within the city center. Train stations frequently have zero long term parking, while airport frequently have cheap or even free long term parking. If you need to take the train where I live, then you're better of driving to the airport and park there. Then take a train or bus to the city center and the train station.

If you'd have to pay for long-term parking, why not instead pay for a taxi or Uber to the train station?
In the last couple of weeks we posted a job for a junior .NET dev and got over 800 resumes within days. The automation is killing both the employer having to sift through it all and the employee possibly getting lost in the mix.
Oftentimes they do. If they don't, it's not very hard to page memory to and from the NPU until the operation is completed.

The bigger problem is that this NPU hardware isn't built around scaling to larger models. It's laser-focused on dense computation and low-precision inference, which usually isn't much more efficient than running the same matmul as a compute shader. For Whisper-scale models that don't require insanely high precision or super sparse decoding, NPU hardware can work great. For LLMs it is almost always going to be slower than a well-tuned GPU.
On what basis? There is no right to employment in the US Constitution, and companies are simply practicing good capitalism by purchasing the most effective workforce at the lowest cost from a global labor pool.

If you want to live in a society where your life has value beyond that which a market rapidly converging on slave labor and AI can extract from you, I guess maybe move to a country where "socialism" isn't a dirty word.

Your trainer advises you to reduce your calorie intake to between 200 and 500 calories per day? [0] That sounds very, very hazardous for anything other than very short term use, and (given the body's inbuilt "starvation mode") probably counterproductive, even then.

[0] Note that the robot suggested to reduce calorie intake by 1,500->1,800 calories, and the recommended calorie intake is 2,000.
If we then turn to pluralism more closely, it’s perhaps best to start with the definition of economics, because it's a crucial piece in thinking about pluralism. How do you see what economics is—how to define economics?

I define economics as the study of the economy. To put it very simply, how we produce, exchange, consume, and these days waste, our goods and services. I know that many mainstream economists try to define it in terms of methods, essentially defining it as the study of rational choice. I think that's not right, because all other disciplines are defined in terms of the subject matter that is studied. Chemistry is the study of chemical substances; sociology is the study of society. Because these days someone can be a professor of economics in a big university despite not studying what people normally understand to be economic issues. The best example is Steven Levitt and his book Freakonomics, where he basically discusses human behaviour. It’s an interesting book. But is there anything in that book that we normally think of as economics? It's about how sumo wrestlers collude with each other, how American school teachers cheat, and so on. All very interesting, but there's nothing about the economy.
The stained glasses these are supposed to replace are from 1850. They are also approved by the French Catholic Church.

The actual discussion in France is about the legitimacy of replacing intact windows even if pretty much everyone agree that the Viollet-le-Duc ones are completely uninteresting. No one is actually against the new glasses per se if it would have been a non story if they were put in place in place of destroyed glasses.
> * you have to check an LLM result, especially if it cites something (because it may or may not exist)

Hype is very interesting. The concept of Hyperstition describes fictions that make themselves real. In this sense, hype is an essential part of capitalism:

"Capitalization is [...] indistinguishable from a commercialization of potentials, through which modern history is slanted (teleoplexically) in the direction of ever greater virtualization, operationalizing science fiction scenarios as integral components of production systems." [0]

"Within capitalist futures markets, the non-actual has effective currency. It is not an "imaginary" but an integral part of the virtual body of capital, an operationalized realization of the future." [1]

This corresponds to the idea that virtual is opposed to actual, not real.
